Santroff:Its pretty amusing how the public needs to be warned about events going on in our own solar system specifically so that conspiracy theorists don't jump to conclusions about Area 51 or the Illuminati.

That's exactly what they want you to think, the government are projecting a picture of Jupiter using high powered lasers to cover up the fact they are testing highly advanced spacecraft.

My god. It was so obvious before, how could I have been so bling? This explains EVERYTHING. Does this also mean that the asteroid belt also used to be a planet existing between Mars and Jupiter, but it was blown up by a giant laser created by an ancient civilization that existed on Earth, but the government wanted to cover it up so they could keep the laser technology for themselves?

UltraFark: I have a relative that actually believes this is what happened to the asteroid belt.

I love Jesus people. Yesterday I was checking out the classified ads. There was a big ad that had some contractor on it for roofing. On the bottom, it said, "JESUS SAVES" in big letters. So from that, I can only assume that Jesus buys in bulk.

1) The need for improved public scientific literacy.2) The need for a frakkin' proofreader at that paper! Every sentence does not warrant its own paragraph break. Also, note how the article identifies Jupiter as "the largest plant in the solar system".

No, it means the guy nailing in the shingles has a bank account, so feel free to pay with a check.

Well... there goes my theory of 'Jesus being Jewish' right out the window.

Yeah, it says that. Go back and look.

Yeah, i came here to say that. Never knew Jupiter was a plant, thank goodness this article set me straight!

I'll never forget the guy who had a few telescopes set up outside of a club in Baltimore when I lived there. He was charging 2 dollars to see Jupiter and Saturn. Over half the morons who looked through it couldn't believe it and thought it was some sort of trick.

The big red spot mystery is solved! It is really just the fruit of Jupiter.

Am I wrong to think that the mark of the beast will be a Jesus fish? See a lot of those to in ads. Soon they will be required for commerce.

The Red Spot Planet is about to be spectacular! This month and next, Earth is catching up with Jupiter in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Jupiter may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Saturn's gravity tugs on Jupiter and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Jupiter has not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.

The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Jupiter will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. Jupiter will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. Jupiter will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10 p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m.

By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Jupiter will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30 a.m. That's pretty convenient to see something that no human being has seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month. Share this with your children and grandchildren. NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN
